If we have crypto Why people still buy stocks?

[SaiyanSS3]

It’s so biased for you to call stock not a scam while calling crypto is one of them.

Wait wut? I called nothing... I simply asked why you think stock market is a scam.
I don't even think you understand my question.

So I ask you one more time, why you think stock market is a scam?

Crypto is created as the result of stock market scam going full out of control, there won’t be crypto if not for the stock market.

I hit CTRL+F on the Bitcoin whitepaper, and only find "stock" in this paragraph:

This is similar to the level of information released by stock exchanges, where the time and size of individual trades, the "tape", is made public, but without telling who the parties were.

Tell me your story about this "Crypto is created as the result of stock market scam going full out of control." It should be interesting

Read the genesis block again. Unless you can’t read what’s written by them to remind all of you pretentious salesman.

Obviously you haven't born when several market crashes happened, and you only read the title not the article, let alone to know the reason 2008 crisis happened. If your argument about banking and derivatives, it is fine.

Ask your mother about what happened, don't go wander around in a forum spreading nonsense.

People tell me stock is not a scam and all bs. They know nothing about stock, every stock is a product of scam, don’t trust those stock salesman, they need idiot like you to buy their stock.

Why you think stocks are scam? Which part of it you consider as a scam?

Anyway, if you buy enough stock, you will own the company (majority shareholder). In crypto, if you buy enough crypto you won't own the brand/ticker, you will only become a whale. Can't do anything with your bag except hold it and wait for someone else to buy it.

I agree,  stock investment is totally different from crypto, I will call it a standard way of investment because like it or not stock looks more certain than crypto investment,
Yes if you have enough shares in a company you become owner of majority part of the company whereas in crypto it is not like that, plus you are dividends from your shares, am sure those who still prefer to invest in stocks more than crypto consider this things and other benefits as well.

Yes, here are the benefits that you can get;

Investment Gains
Dividend Income
Multiple Trades
Ownership

Sounds interesting but these gains will just be surely eaten up when you do make out investment on crypto
but of course its bit needing some sort of luck

Believe me, whatever you believe can make a profit for you then that is the best investment for you but not for anyone else. Not everyone likes crypto, and not all of these crypto will hate the stock market. Before people got to know crypto, most of them probably already understood the stock market and got their profits and losses from it. If they don't like crypto because of its high risk, they probably won't be suitable for this investment. Also people are never forced to invest here.

You have used a quite cheeky image there, I mean it does help with your point but it is definitely cheecky. Netflix went up 13488% that is true but it is SINCE 2004, so that is 17 years, and it is same for others as well, disney is high but since 2002, and Tesla got high but since 2011 as well. So long story short all these things made a profit in a decade or two for what bitcoin did in half a decade, that is not really that shocking if you ask me, that is why the question of "why to go stocks when you can make that much in crypto?" Because there are altcoins that probably did this much just in 2021 for the past 5 months, and that means stocks are not really an ideal thing to invest into.

The real reason to me would be that if you trust a company and you want to become "partners" you can sort of become one, a tiny one but you share that companies success, and if you really want that, then there is nothing that can stop you.

If we have sachet water why are people still buying table water, I will compare your subject with that. Both are means of investment and they differ in how you operate it. Every individual has the freedom to choose whatsoever investment to dive into considering the money, risk, length of time to yield, and many more possible reasons.

[DigitalFox]

For me, the word "diversification" comes to mind. I start getting this feeling lately that keeping almost everything in just one type of asset isn't too wise, so even though I never played with stocks I might look closer into that.

[mindrust]

Completely different assets.

Stocks are no different than owning a business. By buying a share of Apple Inc, you become a partner (a shareholder) of their business. Some of those shares even let you have a say on the important stuff. (vote) Sometimes they pay you dividends, you pay your taxes, be a good citizen.

And crypto... well it is crypto. It is a one way ticket to the moon. Obviously crypto is a lot better than owning stocks. You don't need to exhaust yourself researching p/e ratios, business news and crap like that. The stock to flow chart have done all the research for you.

[pixie85]

Different tastes and different choices.

You could ask the average person if they think holding money on a bank account is better than investing most will probably say that investing is better, yet most people never invest their money.

People who prefer stocks are usually older. Also, people who have a lot of money rarely want to take s big risk. They prefer a steady small gain over big gain followed by a big loss if you don't sell at a right moment.

Why people still buy stocks?
If with crypto much bigger profits *
3% daily gain is nothing If you can get 100% profit with Good coins pump.
How the Hell people Even get rich with stocks with so small profits?  

Equities and cryptos are simply two completely distinct areas of investment.

With the former, you are investing in businesses that generate income through productivity activities. With the latter, it is more of a hedge against the fiat economy's inflation risks and the eventuality of a collapse of the entire system.

The crazy growth in the cryptospace will also likely die down a tad after this bull market - it is currently simply too good to be sustainable.

I would also argue that both are required at a balance in order to construct a truly great portfolio asset allocation - they complement each other well as asset classes. Cryptos are far too volatile in the short run even though the long-run growth potential is obviously unquestionable.

Besides investing Bitcoin, a lot of people invest in stocks. You want to know why they have Bitcoin and they still buy stocks? That is a very normal thing. Each person has their own interests, strengths and abilities. Moreover, stock investment is very simple, regardless of whether you have a large or small amount of money, you can immediately start to choose good stocks, buy and save to make a profit. In particular, this is a prestigious investment field long before Bitcoin.

[cyriljundos]

people explores they invested in, if there is an opportunities in stocks then fine its very okay, crypto is good to invest also in trading or in investing in an ico, but other people still invest in stock market for extra income/profit. as long as you earn and not losing your money then its good.

Well, the financial advisors always recommend areas where they are knowledgeable and calculate the safety of their clients, and most financial professionals will choose the stock market as a stable way to enhance client assets, where the latest economic knowledge and updates are required and this is their specialty. Crypto is a world too short of experts, the savvy of the financiers still cannot succeed here due to the irregularities in this market, knowing about the stock market first will be very difficult to match with the crypto market and vice versa, the two markets do not have many similarities to link knowledge.

That depends though, some financial advisors measure their clients risk tolerance and they might be able to advice themm a much suited investments. Also not all financial advisor are working on your best interest because they have to be certified as a fiduciary so you can be sure that they in your good side.

I think because stocks comes first before cryptocurrencies. With that, more people knew stocks than crpyto. Since we can also earn from stock, they already have spend a lot of time in studying on how to invest and earn from it. They become committed to stocks, they may have no time for crypto, they may see the higher risk from crypto and since they are already earning from stocks, there is no reason for them to find something new to earn.

This is a huge factor, my dad would never invest in crypto currencies but he is trading stocks. And he keeps buying high risk stocks at the wrong time, with cryptos he would have made some decent money instead of losing it with stocks. Another big factor for stocks is that most retirement funds invest heavily in stocks. In my insurance policy I can choose between 15-20 different investment funds. 70% of those funds are stock funds, with a few bond and commodity funds. There is no option do by crypto funds.

You’re unable to decipher the hidden message behind the block, whether you are superstitious or you’re very pretentious, imagine all the idiot still invest heavily into the scam market in 2021, what do you think is the tragic? They are telling me, money come from some one else sweat and blood, stock market money come from traders shoot himself or jump into the building for making life changing trades.

I agree that those who are used to getting profit from stocks will find it difficult to switch to investing in crypto. Moreover, most of those who invest
in stocks are the old generation who are over 40 years old, and those who are old people find it difficult to understand new things. Moreover, crypto
has a very high risk, usually often avoided by older people. Most crypto investors in my opinion come from the millennial generation, who like
modern things and advanced technology. Even many of my family were not interested after I showed the profit I made from cryptocurrency,
because most people prefer low risk investments, such as gold and stocks.

Maybe because crypto is still as volatile as it was back then and I don't think that a lot of people is going to be able to handle those graphs that goes erratic most of the time. And I think that FUD also plays a big role as to why people aren't going in crypto, they are too scared to try.
